Celtic Love Spoon

This spoon is my first attempt at carving spoons. I used wenge, purpleheart & bloodwood to create this. I used a two part polymer finish to give it depth. It is about 8” long & 3/8” thick. My wife really liked it for one of her Christmas presents. I am very critical of my own work and can pick out the flaws in this piece, but you can’t add the wood back to it once you take it off. One side is a little skinnier than the other, but my wife likes it just fine. This took some time to complete but it was worth the praise that my wife gave me. Well I hope you all like this one, maybe even try making one for you significant other. As always thanks for lookin at my projects.

My first spoon never looked that good. Be warned though, spoon carving can become addictive. One of these days I am going to get up the courage to try one of the ‘love’ spoons… a lot of tedious work. Nice job on this one.

Holy smokes, if that’s your first stab at a spoon, I can’t wait to see what the future holds.I’ve been trying to do a little more carving to get the hang of it, but if I can get 100th as good as you, I’ll be very happy !Beautiful work!
